In Louisville. Turner aud Patterson, the
colored assailants of Jennie Bowman,

mob OF several hundred men and boys
mobbed the jail, but were dispersed by
the police. The attack was subsequently
repeated twice, the would-be lynchers be-
ing each time repulsed. Later In the day,
at the request OF Judge jackson, of the
Circuit Court, several companies of col
diers were ordered to guard the jail. The
Mayor also issued proclamation an
nouncing his determination to preserve
order, and giving the usual warning.
Notwithstanding this crowd gathered,
and DR.. Berry, said to te prominent
physician, harangued them, advising
lynching. The gathering finally adjourn

jail with gattling gun. Ten thousand
people were on the street near the jail,
but the crowd, which included many
seemed actuated chiefly by curi-

Immediately he disappeared again.
The reason alleged for his second dis {.
appearance Ia that he has gone away
for u brief period In search OF health.
The case OF Mr.. Springer is creating
no little furry In Epiecopal circles. Toe
